Abstract

A wearable device and a method for controlling the same are disclosed herein. The wearable device, comprising a bio-signal sensor unit configured to sense a bio-signal; a storage unit configured to store data; and a processor configured to control the bio-signal sensor unit and the storage unit, wherein the processor is further configured to: generate first reference data including a weight of a first reference object and a first bio-signal being generated by holding the first reference object when the first bio-signal is detected, generate measurement data including a second bio-signal being generated by holding a measurement object, when the second bio-signal is detected, and obtain a weight of the measurement object by comparing the measurement data with the first reference data.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of the Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0145079, filed on Nov. 27, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Field of the Invention

[0003] The present specification relates to a wearable device. And, most particularly, the present specification relates to a wearable device that can generate reference data and measurement data and that can obtain a weight of an object that is to be measured (hereinafter referred to as a “measurement object”) by comparing the two different data sets.

[0004] Discussion of the Related Art

[0005] With the technical evolution, research and development of wearable devices are being accelerated. Herein, a wearable device refers to a device that can be naturally and easily worn on a user's body, such as clothing or accessories, i.e., watches, glasses, rings, and so on. Since the wearable device is being worn on the user's body, bio-signals of the user...
